Ohai Felix.

I dislike reading and only ever did it for school, but I would like to read horror probably. I've even written something in that genre once before, albeit it's a short story, and it's more or less following a preset theme and it's just a set of instructions and trials to obtain the Object.

I mostly read non-fiction.  Philosophy, history, political economy, etc.  Within the realm of fiction, my favorite movement is literary existentialism, e.g. Camus, Dostoevsky, etc.

I read fiction only, mostly fantasy with some sci-fi thrown in here or there. Terry Pratchett books, Halo novels, and the Skullduggery Pleasant series are some of my fave's.

I generally like fantasy as well, particularly older stuff like The Magic of Xanth series. I only read through the first two or three books, I think. I'd like to get my hands on the rest. :P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanth)

Fantasy, like Eragon, The hunters apprentice and Children of Armageddon.
Or Scifi, like Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy, all star wars books, and the Assassins Creed book series. :)

I try to read whatever I can, but usually the thing that holds my attention will be anything with catchy sentences (Gregory Maguire and John Updike come to mind), something with a complicated plot (Like Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad, or Stephen King's It), something with a prominant Antagonist (A Series of Unfortunate Events), or something with well-woven dialogue (Toni Morrison).
